H
OW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR
T
he chest pulse sensor consists of two components:
the chest strap and the sensor unit (see the drawing
below). Insert the tab on one end of the chest strap into
one end of the sensor unit, as shown in the inset draw-
ing. Press the end of the sensor unit under the buckle
on the chest strap. The tab should be flush with the
front of the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the
chest pulse sen-
sor around your
chest and attach
the other end of
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Adjust the length
of the chest strap,
if necessary. The
chest pulse sen-
sor should be under your clothes, tight against your
skin, and as high under the pectoral muscles or
breasts as is comfortable. Make sure that the logo on
the sensor unit is facing forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side
(the electrode areas are covered by shallow ridges).
Using saline solution such as saliva or contact lens so-
lution, wet both electrode areas. Return the sensor unit
to a position against your chest.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
d
ried. If the chest pulse sensor is not dried after
each use, it may remain activated longer than nec-
e
ssary, draining the battery prematurely.
Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.
D
o not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag
or other container that may trap moisture.
Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time; do not expose
it to temperatures above 50° C (122° F) or below
-10° C (14° F).
Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.
Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest
strap may be hand washed and air dried.
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the chest pulse sensor is used with the con-
sole. If the chest pulse sensor does not function
properly, try the steps below.
Make sure that you are wearing the chest pulse sen-
sor as described at the left. Note: If the chest pulse
sensor does not function when positioned as de-
scribed, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest.
Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
As you walk or run on the treadmill, position your-
self near the centre of the walking belt. For the
console to display heart rate readings, the user
must be within arm’s length of the console.
The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate
reading problems may be caused by medical
conditions such as premature ventricular contrac
-
tions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.
The operation of the chest pulse sensor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that
this is a problem, try relocating the treadmill.
The CR2032 battery may need to be replaced (see
page 30).

THE PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-
TANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such
s
ubstances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug.
Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
See drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into the
socket on the treadmill.
See drawing 2. Press the pins on the power cord into the metal clips
in the adapter as shown. Close the adapter cover over the end of the
power cord and tighten the screw in the adapter. Important: Make
sure that the adapter cover is secure and the screw has been
tightened before using the power cord.
See drawing 3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
speed and incline of the treadmill can be changed with
the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or the chest pulse sensor.
Sixteen preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers two heart rate programs
that automatically adjust the speed and incline of the
treadmill to keep your heart rate near a target level
whilst you exercise.
You can even create custom workout programs and
store them in memory for future use.
The console also features iFIT.com interactive technol-
ogy. Having iFIT.com interactive technology is like
having a personal trainer in your home. Using the in-
cluded audio cable, you can connect the treadmill to
your home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR
and play special iFIT.com CD and video programs
(iFIT.com CDs and videocassettes are available sepa-
rately). iFIT.com CD and video programs automatically
control the treadmill as a personal trainer coaches you
through every step of your workout. High-energy music
provides added motivation.
To purchase iFIT.com
CDs and videocassettes, visit our Web site at
www.iFIT.com.
With the treadmill connected to your computer, you can
also go to our Web site at www.iFIT.com and access
programs directly from the internet. Explore

Interval program.
A few seconds after a preset program is selected,
the name of the selected program, the maximum
speed setting for the program, the maximum in-
cline setting for the program, and the total program
time will begin to scroll across the main display.
The program dis
-
play will show the
speed settings of
the program you
have selected.
Note: If you have
selected a program with more than seventeen
segments, the display will show only the first sev-
enteen speed settings.
Press the Start button or the Speed + button to
start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
i
ncline settings of the program. Hold the handrails
and begin walking.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths. (The main display
shows both the time remaining in the program and
the time remaining in the current segment of the
program.) One speed setting and one incline set-
ting are programmed for each segment. (The
same speed setting and/or incline setting may be
programmed for
two or more con-
secutive seg-
ments.) The speed
setting for the first
segment is shown
in the flashing
Current Segment
column of the program display. (The incline set-
tings are not shown in the program display.) The
speed settings for the next several segments are
shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash and a
series of tones will sound. In addition, if the speed
and/or incline of the treadmill is about to change,
the speed setting and/or incline setting will flash in
the main display to alert you. When the first seg-
ment is completed,
all speed settings will move
one column to the left
. The speed setting for the
second segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the treadmill will au-
tomatically adjust to the speed and incline settings
for the second segment. Note: If all of the indica-
tors in the Current Segment column are lit after the
speed settings have moved to the left,
the speed
settings may move downward
so that only the
highest indicators appear in the program display. If
some of the indicators in the Current Segment col-
umn are not lit when the speed settings move to
the left again, the speed settings will move back
up.
The program will continue in this way until the
speed setting for the last segment
is shown in the
Current Segment column and no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.

Enter a target heart rate setting.
After you have entered a maximum speed setting,
press the Start button (pressing the button will not
start the program at this time). The words “ENTER
P
ULSE” and the current target heart rate setting
will appear in the main display. Press the
Age/Weight Set buttons to enter the desired target
heart rate setting for the program. The buttons can
be held down to enter a target heart rate setting
quickly.
Press the Start button to start the program.
A moment after the button is pressed, the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the first speed and
incline settings of the program. Hold the handrails

Each heart rate program is divided into several time
segments. (The main display shows both the time
remaining in the program and the time remaining
in the current segment of the program.) One tar-
get heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: If the Self Select program is selected,
the same target heart rate setting is programmed
for all segments.
During each segment, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the current target heart
rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or
above the target heart rate setting, the speed of
the treadmill will automatically increase or de
-
crease to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. If the speed reaches the maxi-
mum speed setting of the program (see step 4 on
page 18) and your heart rate is still too far below
the current target heart rate setting, the incline of
the treadmill will also increase to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
During the last three seconds of each segment, a
series of tones will sound and the speed setting
a
nd the incline setting will flash in the main display.
T
he program will continue until no time remains in
the program. The walking belt will then slow to a
stop.
If the speed or incline setting is too high or too low
during the program, you can adjust the setting
with the Speed or Incline buttons. However, each
time the console compares your heart rate to the
current target heart rate setting, the speed and/or
incline of the treadmill may automatically change
to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart
rate setting.
If your pulse is not detected during the program,
the letters “PLS” will flash in the main display and
the speed and incline of the treadmill may auto-
matically decrease until your pulse is detected. If
this occurs, see page 8.
To stop the program temporarily, press the Stop
button. The time will begin to flash in the main dis-
play. To restart the program, press the Start button
or the Speed + button. The walking belt will begin
to move at 1 mph. When the console compares
your heart rate to the current target heart rate set-
ting, the speed and/or incline of the treadmill will
change to bring your heart rate closer to the target
heart rate setting. To end the program, press the
Stop button, remove the key, and then reinsert the
key.
Follow your progress with the displays.
